  1. After a bit of a hiatus, The Brothers Wilson return to bring you the Drew Barrymore instalment of Hey, an Actor! Covering her child actor years by dint of Firestarter, her mainstream commercial years via Charlie's Angels, and her successful romcom partnership with Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates. Ian and Pandy also take in a disproportionate amount of cultural appropriation, ranging from acting greats like George C Scott all the way down to Rob Schneider. Also, stay tuned to find out Ian's bugbears with Stephen King, what compels Pandy to dash out naked in the rain, and why, given all the legitimate closing song choices the featured films throw up, the episode ends on a deranged song about clowny clown clowns.

  2. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom take on another obscure foreign superhero double feature. This time, they see what Brazil does with their political Punisher ripoff The Awakener. Then, they muddle their way through Donnie Yen's Proteges of the Black Rose. All that, plus feedback and tunes: "Hellnation" by Dead Kennedys, "Cobra" by Far from Alaska, "Black Roses" by The Browns, and "Punch Your Face In" by Razor. [ 1:08:32 ]

     

  3. Part of Your World and The Honore Litter enter the 1960s with the sequel- / spinoff- / smoking-tastic One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Is it The Best in Show, a bit spotty, or have elements of both? Plus, the podcast gets its first ending outtake, Emma reveals one of her first crushes, and, prompted by an email from Ian, both Christian and Emma rank the non-package films they’ve reviewed for the show thus far! [ 1:52:11 ]

     

  4. "Why spiders, Master Lee?" The clear answer is for a Flickchart Forum for Spider-Man movies! Ian Wilson is joined by Donovan Morgan Grant and Christian Honore as they discuss and rank the non-Avengers films related to New York's favorite web-slinger. There's controversy to be had if you're a fan of Spider-Man 2, whilst each host debates the best Spider-Man actor. Also: lizards! And guess what. This is the 17th anniversary of Earth-2.net: The Show! [ 3:42:53 ]

  5. This week, it's another double feature of "women in trouble" films with Tom. First up, podcast favorite actress Maika Monroe does her best Hitchcock audition in Watcher. And did someone say Hitchcock? Dario Argento is back with another giallo film in Dark Glasses. Soundtrack to your nervous breakdown: "The Watcher" by Arch Enemy, "I Am a Pig" by Two, "Dark Bolero" by Goblin Rebirth, and "No Escape from Now" by Ozzy Osbourne featuring Tony Iommi.

  6. If you're gonna find yourself in pitched battle on the plains of a lost fantasy kingdom, you'd better find yourself a kickass weapon to carry around - and not use! Cast members of half a dozen TV shows you vaguely remember take this responsibility very seriously in 1981's The Sword and the Sorcerer! Then, get ready to doodle the Glaive in the margins of your English notebook after we dig into 1983's Krull! [ 1:35:19 ]

     

  7. This week on the show, Nicole Cushing returns to talk about belief in the supernatural, reading translated works. and transformation, as well as her brand new novel Mothwoman.

  8. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Celebrate your Halloween season with us and a few classic family specials! First, has any hero peered as unflinchingly into the face of terror than the bumbling pharmacist invited to 1967's Mad Monster Party? Then, the immortal Impaler of Transylvania matches wits with some amateur teenage detectives in 1979's The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula! [ 1:13:31 ]

     

  9. This week on the show, our old friend Greg Lamberson returns to discuss all five films in The Omen franchise. On the docket is The Omen, Damien: Omen II, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Omen IV: The Awakening, and The Omen (2006).

  10. Inept protagonists, grabby princes, and villains who don’t deserve sympathetic origin stories take center stage as Pandy and Kelly Wilson reunite with Christian to take on the most divisive film on the podcast yet: the artistically rich but narratively deficient Sleeping Beauty. Which fairy does Pandy hate the most? Who are Death Girl and the Anti-Michael Caine? Pink or blue? Plus, the hosts weigh in the latest Strange World trailer and the announcement of Wish and Christian commissions a podcast for Kelly to host! [ 1:36:53 ]

  13. Recording alongside Dolly and Lily again, Christian and Emma dig into Lady and the Tramp - the first of Disney’s pet-protagonist films, and holder of several other major firsts for the studio. In the process, the two great Danes deliver more silly singing than ever before, and face a terrible trio of Chekhov’s Rat, Yellow Peril stereotypes, and the world’s worst video store manager. [ 1:20:27 ]

     

  14. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom take a look at David Cronenberg's latest: Crimes of the Future. Then Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Non-David Cronenberg Body Horror Double Features (yes, a long title and an excuse to talk about a whole bunch of movies).

  16. This program contains negative depictions of and / or mistreatment of people and cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it, and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. With this well-earned disclaimer, Christian and Donovan move from Wonderland to Neverland and dive into the part-enchanting, part-problematic Peter Pan. Side servings include some choice Batman, Bond, and Colin Baker references, a question about Goofy's marriage, and the tragic fate of Bobby Driscoll. [ 2:15:44 ]

     

  17. You've had a rough week, so we're easing you into your weekend with classic British horror! First, a Victorian country squire solves the "nobody wants to work anymore" problem with a labor plan that's sure not to go badly at all, in 1966's The Plague of the Zombies! After that, sure, you got your Peter Cushing, you got your Christopher Lee, but really we know you're here for Kung Fu Rod Stewart dressed as a Dracula. It's 1971's The House That Dripped Blood! [ 1:29:26 ]

     

  18. This week on the show, Desmond and Tom look at the most recent self-indulgent rock star thing: The Foo Fighters and Studio 666. Then, Desmond goes solo on a Dread Media Top 5 Rockstar (and Manager) Self-Indulgences. Songs included: "The Sweet Abyss" and "March of the Insane" by Dream Widow, "Cabin Essence" by Brian Wilson Presents... SMILE, and... you know what? The last song is a surprise. [ 58:12 || 28.2 MB ]

  19. This week on the show, the local crew (Brittney, Jeff, Mo, Scott, and mostly silent Stacy) returns after a year to take a look at Alex Garland's latest: Men. Lots to talk about with this one.

Songs included: "All the Bad Men" by Psychotic Waltz, "Love Song" by Lesley Duncan, "Evil Twin" by Anthrax, and "My Name is Blank" by Boris. [ 52:11 || 25.3 MB ]

  20. Donovan Morgan Grant returns to the program to help Christian tackle the trippiest entry in the Disney Animated Canon yet: Alice in Wonderland. As they galumph and chortle their way through the film's synopsis, the two madmen also remark upon the vast cultural footprint left by its source material, the 1999 and 2010 live-action retellings of the story, and the casual cruelty of Wonderland's inhabitants.
